Stock shocks are getting tired. Been reading a lot on the Bilstein 5100 series but I have no desire to change the front end height, so I thought the 4600 would be a better selection. Differences? Anyone run the 4600 on these late model trucks care to share experiences.

I keep hearing that Bilstein's are a bit stiffer ride over OEM. Am I correct to assume that the improved dampening ability also allows them to better handle freeway expansion joints, rough roads or pot holes etc.. much better?

The one annoyance I have with the stock shocks is sometimes when you hit a large bump (ala railroad tracks) with the back wheels you can feel the back end literally hop. That's the kind of stuff I was hoping the Bilsteins would improve upon.

Thanks for any input.
